Amazons details contradict themselves, states 1AA but description states 2AAs. That being said, has anyone installed these on 5 x 5 vinyl post with no modifications to the light or post?

I installed on 4" vinyl posts. The lights come with an interchangeable base to fit different sizes of posts.

The 5.5" includes the metal screws on the side. If there isn't another light fixture to choose from you could always try it and send it back if it doesn't work.

I thought I was not allowed on Amazon anymore. I don't know who the supplier was but yes they were hum free, light free and didn't work at all and that was four out of four light fixtures. I am sure they did not post my feedback as I cancelled my account with Amazon. Funny as they did not give a hoot when I closed my account and still want me to leave feedback.

Sorry I just tried them on the post so I don't know about the light. I was working with the fit. Copper is a better choice for me and have not found that kind either. The case of this was too white for me.

We have them mounted on posts by our pool house. Have never thought about that so can't answer your question. Just know we LOVE them and get many compliments on them.

Sorry but I did not install mine yet. the winter set in & i only got the led light holder tracks installed. I do remember you can cut every 3 feet of led's & there were markings on the vinyl, so you may have to cut it at 39 feet.

These lights fit over my 4x4 posts perfectly. There is a 1/16" hole on each side for mounting with screws supplied. Myself I used two small nails but be careful when hammering as to not hit the light or crack it. Best to use the screws if not good at hammering. No drilling necessary.

I bought these lights based on the answers here saying the lights can be installed in a vertical or horizontal position, but this was not the case for me. Just like some of the reviews, the head unit that was shipped was made for an octagonal shaped light and the lights could only be installed in a weird angle that made it impossible for me to use for photography. So perhaps some customers are shipped the correct head unit and some are shipped the octagon. I just filled out my return request. Buyer beware.

Im sorry we sent these back without opening them. We found alternative lighting -I think the specs give the max length -

I measured the inside diameter of the light and it measures 5 in. x 5 in.. You may want to measure your vinyl post to make sure their measure is 5 x 5. Hope this helps. DW

I think it will fit fine. Mine is on a wood 4 x 4 post and really doesn't even need to be screwed in. It fits tight when pressed on the post. We love ours. Not a lot of light, but enough.

No reply. I take it this means no... good luck specifying red bulbs, if so desired. Bummer, this kinda seemed like a good deal...

They are 2 inch diameter verticle posts. I should also mentoin, you should keep the botton of the rail high enough off the pool surface water to avoid corrosion from pool chemicals.

This lights and the way they are design will not meet NEC. Article 300.15, 'a box should be install at any junction or connection point'.If you just cut a hole and make connections(wire nuts or push in connectors) you even risk the chances to set your house in fire if anything goes bad with this units.PVC and/or metal boxes should be used. I'm just making a suggestion. I ordered one just to look at the design and I would rather buy a different fixture.

The way I mounted the lights, I can not check the length of the links. If I recall, the links were around two and half inches between the mounts. I'm pretty sure they were not 5 or 3 inches long.

The LED version as far as I know do not come with them and even if you did find some laying around or scavenge the rubber off the non lighted ones, the plastic housing is slightly different around the holes. They wouldnt fit. best bet would be to pick up a set of O-rings and use them as a makeshift anti-vibration mount as the rubber on these isn't much to write home about anyways. They kinda distort when torquing them down so it ends up looking weird and broken-ish.
